**Who We Are**

**It starts with you**

Some people think being an accountant is all about numbers. Here at Haines Watts we don’t We believe it’s all about our people and the relationships they forge as well as the specialist insight that they might build over time. We’ve been around for 90 years, so we must know a thing or two.

Our clients come from all walks of life. They have different backgrounds, experiences, talents, skills and goals. Just like our people.

**So, we have a question for you**: are you looking for a job that’s just about the numbers? Or do you want a career which leans into who you are as a person. You will build a common foundation with your colleagues whilst progressing from Trainee to Manager, but from there, with our in-house programmes to help you, we actively encourage you to discover who you are as a person.

Is your preference to become a foremost authority in an accountancy specialism or someone who is energised by relationships with clients and teams? We value either career path equally, but we know that you will value one more than the other and we will support you on that journey of discovery.
